I read in a book somewhere (Sorry, can't remember which one ) that in the mid 70's Ford had hired some chassie engineers from Audi to help them design a world class platform to base thier (at the time) furture car on. "The Fairmont". (OUCH !) Anyway, the Audi design team were the same Guys...

Hey Donnie, thanks for the tip. I ordered a set today.I'm not sure who manufactures them for Summit, but I have always been pleased with there "store brand" in the past.They should be perfect for my lateist drag project. I have the J&M's on my street/strip car, I am very satisfied with them so...

A few years back I had a stock 92 gt with an AOD and 2:73 gears . I had installed 3:73's in it and always felt that I should have used 4:10's. It would have handled them with no problem. I just didn't feel the 3:73 were that big of a change from the 2:73's. You would think it would be radical...

This maybe way off but the same thing happened to me.4 to 8 swap , all new wiring from same year cars, 1993 in my case, turned key and no prime.It turned out to be the ground curcuit in the computer. Check to see if you can set the TPS switch voltage. If you cannot find ground there then it may...

Thought I read somewhere that you need to use the coupe/ hatch mounts with those K members and NOT the convertable/ engergy suspention style mounts. Sorry I can't help more than that, but maybe that will help steer you in the right direction. Dan

The tires were new and not mounted so I could not try them, Good point though. Anyway, he sold them yesterday. Still I would like to know what people are running for rims and slicks, so if anyone else would lke to chime in I would appreaciate it. Dan

Thanks for your reply Nick, It looks like you have a decent amount of clearance on the in board side, but in the photos it looks as if the "MT" is worn down a bit. Was it hitting the lip? Maybe a 5.5 B.S. would bring it in a little along with a slightly narrower tire? I'm not sure if a 8" rim is...

Is anyone running 10X26X15 Slicks on a fox body ? My car is a 93 LX stock suspension ,stock ride height car. I would be putting them on 15X8 welds with 5.5 B.S. Would I have to roll the lips, or remove the Quads, or modify my exhaust to get these to fit. If so, what combo would work with out any...

The AOD's use an output shaft with the teeth machined into the shaft. Sometime in 1990 ford changed the number of teeth on the AOD's output shaft from 7 teeth(1990 and earlier) to 8 teeth(1990 an later). A 23 tooth speedo gear is correct for the 7 tooth output shaft and 4:10 gears, but a 23...

Try Accell for both. I know they make several short plugs for header clearance for other model cars.

I have the same set-up as the one mentioned that I bought off ebay a while back.(Not from the Chic with the nice boob's.) The sensor is part # F4SF-12B579-AA. I'm going to resell it on ebay, Just wondering if it truely calabrated for 19#'s or not? (I bought a PMAS meter and 24#'s for my...

I'm sure thier is a big differance in the valving in the Bilsteins. The question is do you need it ? And of coarse can you afford it. The big advantage I see is that they look more like the stock shocks in that they don't have a sheild covering the piston rod, that gives you more clearance. Dan

Steeda has them. www.Steeda.com, or 954-960-0774. $84.00 each.(ouch)Dan

Gunk foamy engine cleaner, a scrub brush, and a hand held spray bottle full of water is how I cleaned mine. You can really limit the amount of water you use with the spray bottle. You can buy them at home depot. Don't forget the goggles. Dan

The problem appears to be the combo with the stock pistons themselfs. I have tryed different combo's from: stock heads, cam ,lifters ,pushrods and rockers with felpro perma torque gaskets (.055) nets minimum .115 int @7* atdc and .190 exh @ 7* btdc.To edelbrock perfomer set up: edlebrock...

I need to know what the factory piston to deck height is for a 93 5.0 with the hyper- u pistons. I am having trouble with piston to valve clearance with my engine. It's a stock short block with an E cam and 1.7's and I'm down to .011 on the intakes @ 7* atdc. I have checked and double checked...

PJC racing, Can you please elaborate on what is bad with the Edelbrock valve train and what you did to fix it. This is not the first time I heard bad comments on their stuff. I also heard about early (5500 RPM) valve float. I plan to run their 5.0 performer heads with an E-cam and 1.72's...
